>> URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4790.txt>>Many Internet application protocols include string-based lookup,
>searching, or sorting operations. However, the problem space for
>searching and sorting international strings is large, not fully
>explored, and is outside the area of expertise for the Internet
>Engineering Task Force (IETF). Rather than attempt to solve such a
>large problem, this specification creates an abstraction framework so
>that application protocols can precisely identify a comparison
>function, and the repertoire of comparison functions can be extended
>in the future. [STANDARDS TRACK]
>>This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
>>STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
>protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and
